Intro || Social Media || The Significance of the Times we are Living In
Throughout history there has been great opportunity for the gospel to advance during the emergence of new technologies.
2000 years ago — God timed the coming of Christ — Roman Roads (connection), Common Language, Synagogues (platform communicating and listening)
1440 Gutenberg Printing Press — 1450 Johannes Gutenberg starts printing the bible (Finacned by Johann Fust who wanted bibles mass produced)
1930s the radio starts to become mainstream
1940s Black & white and then Color Television in the 1950s
1995ish the internet starts to emerge 1999 The Internet is in the Main Stream
2004 Facebook Starts 2005 Youtube 2006 Twitter
We are living in a technological revolution that is as significant as the invention if the printing press or the television!
The Implications of WEB 2.0 / Social Media:
-Connectivity & Proximity & Exposure (to knowledge, info, cultures, civilizations, lifestyles)
-Insight & Feedback / Crowd Sourcing
-Accelerated exchange of information (every step made things faster)
-Ever Changing “forms” of how we communicate
— “social media via the Web is unprecedented and unpredictable. For authoritarian leaders used to controlling media and events, time and technology are not on their side.”
-Radical Transparency & And Privacy being eliminated
To ignore social media, or even to treat it lightly is grossly negligent and extremely foolish! In doing so you are choosing not to expand, grow, and ultimately reach more people!

Quit counting fans, followers and blog subscribers like bottle caps. Think, instead, about what you’re hoping to achieve with and through the community that actually cares about what you’re doing. Amber Naslund, brasstackthinking.com
If you make customers unhappy in the physical world, they might each tell 6 friends. If you make customers unhappy on the Internet, they can each tell 6,000 friends. Jeff Bezos, CEO at amazon.com
The problem with trying to determine ROI for Social Media is you are trying to put numeric quantities around human interactions and conversations, which are not quantifiable. Jason Falls, Owner of socialmediaexplorer.com, jasonfalls.com
